Initially organized in September of 1975, our firm was born of the concept that a medium-sized firm can deliver to its clients the kind of expert legal services generally associated with much larger firms, without the impersonalization, oppressive fee structures, tiers of lawyers and levels of responsibility normally associated with large firms.
Utilizing the unique structure of our firm, our staff of over 65 attorneys strive to maintain an individual relationship with each of the firm"s clients while we continue to retain the ability to react quickly and effectively to client problems. The firm recognizes that in today"s highly competitive market for legal services, most clients choose lawyers, not law firms. Because of this, our firm is structured in a way that allows the most knowledgeable lawyer to handle each client"s problem in the most effective manner.
